Life Is A Mystery To Be Lived

Introduction

The word 'life' might be better cast as a verb to reflect it's essential status as a process. Life comprises living beings, individuals assignable to groups (taxa). Each individual is composed of one or more minimal living units, called cells and is capable of transformation of carbon-based and other compounds (metabolism) growth and participation in reproductive acts.

Life Is What It Is Meant To Be; A Series Of Struggles And Lulls

Experience👇👇

I'll be sharing tips that serve as a personal code for living a better, happier, more fulfilled and successful kind of life.

✅ Know what counts and what doesn't - There are somethings in this life that are important and a whole lot of things that are not. This rule means focusing on what's important to you in your life, and making positive changes to ensure you feel happy with what you are dedicating your life to. It means knowing, roughly, where you are going and what you are doing. Awake rather than asleep 'lucid living'.

✅ Change what you can change, let go of the rest - Dedicate yourself personally to things you can change, areas where you can make a difference.

If you waste time struggling to change stuff that is obviously never going to be changed, then life will whizz past you and you'll miss it. If you dedicate yourself personally to things you can change, areas where you can make a difference then life becomes richer and more fulfilled. The more rich it is, curiously the more time you seem to have. This is a rule for you, your personal set and about what you can change.

✅ Have dignity - Dignity is about showing self-respect and having quite self-esteem. Almost all successful people have a sense of their own dignity. They don't need to show off, brag about what they have or who they are. They don't need to draw attention to themselves because they aren't particularly interested in what we think.

It is important to show poise, have good manners, be polite, considerate and to be someone others can look up to.

✅ Maintain good manners in all things - You're probably thinking that you have good manners already, most of us believe we do. However, the more you hurry and the more stress you are under, the more manners are likely to slip. All of us, if we're honest, will admit to forgetting to properly express gratitude for something when frazzled by life.

No matter how many small interactions with people you have each day, don't let the manners slip. This cost nothing and yet can generate so much good will and make everyone's life much more pleasant.

✅ Draw the lines around yourself - Personal boundaries are the imaginary lines you draw around yourself that no one should cross either physically unless invited in or emotionally. You are entitled to respect privacy, decency, kindness, love, truth and honour to name but a few rights. If people cross the lines, blur the boundaries, you are entitled to stand up for yourself and say, 'No, I won't put up with this'.

But you have to draw the lines first. You have to know what you will stand for and what you won't. You have to set the boundaries in your own mind before you can expect others to respect them, stick to them.

Setting personal boundaries means you don't have to be scared of other people any more.

✅ If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all - Hadith 15 of An Nawawis Collection "one of the best deed of a good muslim is to say what is good or be silent..."

No matter how horrid someone is, there is always something about them that is good. Your job is to find that good bit and highlight it, speak about it, draw attention to it, same with a situation that seems troublesome.

When asked your opinion of someone, something, somewhere, you need to find something good to say, something flattering and positive. We need to bite our tongue more often and if all else fails and you really can't think of anything positive to say at all, then don't say anything.

This, is what they call an adventure.

In conclusion, try to see each setback as a chance to improve in life. They make you stronger, not weaker. You only get burdened with as much as you can carry, of course the struggles don't come to an end, but there are lulls in- between times- backwaters where we can rest for a while and enjoy the moment before the next obstacles gets thrown our way. And whatever situation you're in now, it's going to change. That's what life is, what it is meant to be; a series of struggles and lulls.
